Uh ... weird ... this thread (and some others) just "refreshed" themselves on my new messages search. Damn web tech.

Sllooooow day on the wires ... very active this morning with all the Fed interest-rate hike excitement, but now it's dribbled down to nothingness. Amazing how one-quarter of a percent creates such a temporary brou-ha-ha.

To answer your question ... I actually graduated from college in '03 with a business degree, but I spent all my time and energy working at the newspaper, which is why I decided to go into the field. I took a few journo classes, allied myself with a good professor-friend and found myself starting out in biz journalism right after graduation.

My advice to those looking to get into the news business: Freelance a lot, become good friends with a higher-up editor and, most importantly, specialize in a topic. Biz j is really hot right now ... I got hired to AP's natl biz staff with only 1 year of experience because of my business degree and experience covering public companies in Philly.

I "seent" it, and here I be. :D

Ok so how many ppl would I like to get busy with? Nobody in this town, for sure. Back home in MD...well I really couldn't put a percentage on it...it would be really low anyway.

As far as who would "do" me: I have no clue. Honestly, I always have found it a nice surprise to even find out if someone wanted to do the nasty with me.

Now, if the question was how many people have you fallen head over heels (been infatuated) with...oh geez. Wayyyyy to many! :p

Oh well, better late than never. I guess I must be incredibly picky because I'd say that only 3 or 4 guys out of a hundred that I might meet turn me on. Well, maybe I should retract that. When I'm not in a relationship with someone, I suppose that would go up to 15 or 20. I seem to have this sort of unconscious self-censoring fidelity thing going for myself that helps to keep my life simpler and uncomplicated when I'm with someone versus the the times when I'm unattached.;)

Poor Sycamore. :-)

(Yes, I do poke my head in here once in a while great while.)

OH

MY

GOD!

:D

Mkaaayyyy, I must have missed the joke.

Surely you guys didn't think I meant Sycamore in the "nobody in this town". :confused:

I would think that would make him quite happy. ;)

i think blue was OMGing maggie's cameo

You missed your chance. If you had been at Plastic Forks, you could have had that as a bumper sticker.

Eh, I don't remember you breaking the machine out.

I remember seeing him taking it back to the car, I think?

We were too busy eating.

Hey, I've got it ... Party at Rich's to make bumperstickers!!!

I wish girls here in NYC would wear bumper stickers on their asses or large neon signs over their heads signifying if they have boyfriends (or if they have boyfriends but still like to fuck around).

I've recently noticed that being single here in the city is almost not cool. I discussed with some friends, who all agree, even the handful who are in relationships. I meet tons of people every day and plenty of women with whom I'd love to get in the sack (or at least into the bathroom), but 95% of the time they're taken. At work there is endless talk about "my boyfriend this" and "my boyfriend that", and the timeless "last night my boyfriend tried this new toy on me ..." Sickening.

Am I doing something wrong? Or am I only meeting the taken ones because they're less afraid of being outgoing and friendly?

It's frustrating - all I want is a little reckless 23-year-old behavior, but that doesn't even happen because too many women are latched to their dumb effin' boyfriends from college. Four girls I met Wed night were somewhat flirtatious and outgoing - until three of them, after 2 or 3 drinks EACH, tell me they have guys waiting at home. The fourth ditched my ass for some greasy jewish dude with a big nose. Man, I suck. :(

But yeah, I would have porked all four of them. At the same time, if possible. And about 10 other women I saw at the bar too.

Of course not....but that didn't stop me from joking about it.

I'm taking an alcohol prep and some kleenicies to the polls next time, in case I end up with a machine that was used by one of those voting penises.

Onyx and BN, up a tree, ****i n g ...!

:o

BN, maybe your trying TOO hard, i mean girls aren't stupid, and we know when a guy is only buying us a drink or engaging in conversation with us just to get one thing out of us.

It doesnt make us feel special when some guy is hitting on you when you know he would hit on just about any other alright looking chick. Try just being friendly and only a little interested,, give the girls a challenge!
